“Trying to Stay on the Field”: Caleb Williams Makes Final Decision on Wearing Caddix Cleats That Got Him Into Trouble With NFL

Caleb Williams is among roughly 40 NFL players wearing Caddix cleats, but the Chicago Bears quarterback has become the brand’s most talked-about user after receiving an $11,941 fine for displaying its logo. Rather than switch footwear after the penalty, Williams is doubling down on his choice, explaining that protecting his body matters more to him than avoiding another fine. “I’m huge into my body. I’m huge into trying to stay on the field. I’m huge into trying to be healthy. It’s a rough game and things like that. So the cleats, they’ve been great.
